 | And speaking of sex, the BBC releases details of its Autumn schedules, claiming the cultural high ground with a Pop Idol knock-off. I am, however, very excited about the possibility of a new series of Judge John Deed. Oh yes.
No, I've never actually seen it.
No, I very much doubt I will see it.
However, it was described to me in tones of wonder by my dear friend Chris, who explained with eyes a-gleaming, "It's about a judge, Dan. A maverick judge who's not afraid to bend the rules. Which is to say, a really really shit judge."
I do feel for the new writer though, who boldly pronounces without immediately apparent irony, "drama is about stretching cosy assumptions to breaking point and finding something worthwhile with which to replace them." This just underneath the revelation that guest stars will include John Sessions and Donald Sinden. That sound was Capitalism browning its trousers.
Sounds rock-tastic.
